The two sat down and made a pot of tea. Cao Xiangnan asked about some things during his absence. Before leaving, he had arranged everything one by one, but this also required someone to take care of it. He handed it over to Cao Gang to take care of it. He felt more at ease with Cao Gang around.

Facts also proved that everything went on as usual after he came back, and there was no chaos at all.

Even before he left, he proposed to build a protective wall in Caojia Village. The village chief Cao Gang and Li Zheng organized the villagers to build the wall. With this wall, it is equivalent to a safety guarantee for their Caojia Village, which is a good thing for the current Caojia Village and the future Caojia Village.

"Come on, Brother Cao Gang, let's go take a look together." When Cao Xiangnan heard that the village was building a wall, he couldn't wait to get up and go over there to take a look.

Cao Gang nodded and stood up. As for the people and things in the Cao family compound, he didn't mention it to Cao Xiangnan.

"Wanfeng, Brother Cao Gang and I are going out for a while." Cao Xiangnan went over to Wanfeng and told him that he was going out. When Xiao Baoer saw him, his eyes lit up and he crawled towards him with his hands and feet. He reached out to hug the child and kissed the baby twice.

Xiao Baoer thought he was playing kissing with him, so he went over to kiss him, and his face was covered with saliva, but Cao Xiangnan didn't mind.

Qi Wanfeng said "OK", and smiled at the affectionate look of her husband and little Bao'er. Knowing that her husband was going out, she reached out to take little Bao'er. After returning to her mother's arms and hugging her, little Bao'er was about to slide down to play on the ground.

"Then I'll go." Cao Xiangnan saw his kid sitting there, and only spared him a look, and then went back to play by himself, which made him severely abuse his fat kid and said, "Boy, daddy is out busy, you stay at home and help mom take care of your brother." Cao

Ruile gave his father a look that said "Do you need to tell me this?", which made Cao Xiangnan want to reach out and abuse his kid.

"Husband, if you have something to do, go and do it. I will stay at home with the two little ones." Qi Wanfeng knew that his husband must have a lot of things to do since he hadn't been home for so long. After running around outside for so long, he just wanted to take the two little ones to have a good rest at home and didn't want to go out.

"Yeah." Cao Xiangnan nodded, greeted him, and walked out with Cao Gang.

When he got to the door, he happened to meet Sun Bailian coming into his house.

Sun Bailian was pregnant, and it seemed that she had been pregnant for several months. The two greeted each other at the door. Cao Xiangnan knew that Sun Bailian was looking for Wanfeng at his house. "Wanfeng and the two little ones are inside. You can go in and find him." He said.

"Okay, okay, I'll go in then. You guys want to go out, right? I won't stop you. Go ahead." Sun Bailian was thinking about going in to find Wan Feng. Even though her husband was here, she didn't care about him. She waved her hand like chasing away a mosquito, telling them to go quickly.

Cao Gang, this man, followed his wife silently, carefully escorting her in, and then turned around to leave.

Cao Xiangnan watched from behind and couldn't help laughing.

There was a carriage waiting at the door, and they got on it. When Dahei saw his master coming back, he snorted twice arrogantly when his master touched him, but he didn't slow down at all when he ran.

The village wall was built from the entrance of the village. Now most of the young men in the village have jobs, so most of the people who build the wall are the older men in the village, and there are also boys and grandmothers who come to help.

The young men in the village will also take turns to come here to build the wall. Here they only get one lunch a day and a few big bucks to supplement their family expenses. Of course, it is not as much as the money they got from building a house with Master Feng in the past. But this is a good thing for the village. Even if some people are not happy, they dare not say no, unless they don't want to stay in Caojia Village anymore.

Since the academy was built, all the children in the village who were of school age have gone to school. If a child did not go to school when he reached the age, the village committee would go to his house to do work. As a result, there are almost no children running around in the village now. Only the younger ones are still carried on the backs of their grandmothers.

When they went there, they saw everyone working hard.

The old men pushed the mud bricks with a wheelbarrow, and the grandmothers also helped to push the cart. The heavy physical work was given to the young men, and the older ones were assigned to do the lighter work, and everyone divided the work and cooperated.

It happened that the crops in the fields were harvested now, and everyone who could use the land could use it.

On the way here, Cao Xiangnan asked Cao Gang how to build the wall, so he also had a basic understanding of the village wall. This wall construction must involve the issue of manpower and material resources. Before he came back, Cao Gang, the village chief, had led everyone to make arrangements after consultation.

Cao Xiangnan nodded in agreement with Cao Gang's arrangements, saying that Cao Gang had arranged them very well.

"Village chief."

"Cao Silang is back. When did you come back?"

"I just got home last night and came over here to take a look." When the villagers saw them coming, they would say hello. As they walked in, Cao Xiangnan would respond one by one.

Li Zheng was also here. When he heard Cao Gang and Cao Xiangnan coming over, he walked over. Seeing Cao Xiangnan come back, he was very happy. He slapped Cao Xiangnan on the shoulder and said, "Boy, you are finally back!"

If he didn't come back, he would write a letter to urge him to come back.

Cao Xiangnan didn't dare to hide. He laughed and called "Seventh Master".

"I heard from Brother Cao Gang that the village was building a wall when I came back. I couldn't wait to come and see." This was also the truth. Before he went, he sat down with Li Zheng and Cao Gang. He mentioned the construction of a protective wall in Caojia Village. He didn't expect that when he went out and came back, the village had already built it. How could he not be excited? He couldn't wait to run over.

"You should come and see." Li Zheng saw that he had come back, so he forgave the boy for coming back so late.

After a few words, they got down to business. "Come on, I'll take you to have a look." Li Zheng said.

"Okay, that's what I wanted to say." He came here just to see the wall built in the village, Cao Xiangnan said readily.

After more than a month, the wall in front has taken shape. Before the snow falls in winter, the wall in front is likely to be built. Enclosing the entire village is a big project. It will not be built so quickly in a short time. It will be completed at the earliest next year.

"Dad." Cao Xiangnan didn't expect to see his father working here. He didn't see anyone else, only his father. When Cao Ashan saw his fourth son, the smile on his face was a little unnatural. He responded and said, "Si'er, you're back."

"Yeah, I just came back last night." So he didn't have time to go to the Cao family compound to say hello to his father now. When he came back, he didn't know when he would be able to go back. It was just right for him to see his father here now, so he wouldn't have to go there later.
